[Opinions] Opinions on Astrid
Do you like the name Astrid?
I personally love it since it's not trendy or common and it sounds different without sounding exotic. I find that lots of people have mixed opinions about this name though.

I want to like it, but the American pronunciation ("As-trid") has "ass" in front of it, while the Swedish pronunciation ("AH-strid") sounds a lot like "Ostrich".
Literally my favourite name ever.
I would agree, it is a name that sounds different but not exotic. It's uncommon but not unknown. I think I want to like it more than I do. The ass part is a bit off-putting, I think. :P It has a really youthful feel to it. I know of a 2 year old Astrid who is totally adorable, but it still hasn't made me like the name any more.
Not really. It's not terrible, but the sounds don't appeal to me.
I like it. I live in Sweden and it's quite popular here :)
I want to like it, but I don't like that it begins with ass.
What if it began with sass? LOL

I don't love it, but I certainly don't hate it either. There is an appeal to it, not that I can put my finger on what it is! I would be excited to meet a little Astrid though.
